WooCommerce 7.3.0 is scheduled to be released January 10th. Compatibility issues have been discovered with WordPress 5.9 and certain Blocks.
In order to release a bug free experience for WooCommerce, it will be best to delay the 7.3.0 release by a several days to allow time for fixes to be properly tested.
See https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks/pull/8136 for more details.

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 9.3.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.
This release contains a new customer account block, numerous minor bug fixes, and improvements that enhance the stability of certain blocks.
New Customer Account block is now available
This block contains a link to the Login and My Account pages and was added to the Header and Footer patterns. It’s possible to customize this block to be displayed as text-only, icon-only, or icon and text. You can also select the icon style.
Customer account block selected Highlight incompatible payment gateways within the Cart & Checkout Blocks
If you use any incompatible payment gateways, you will now get a warning notice in the editor side of the `Cart` & `Checkout` Blocks:
In the `Payment Options` Inner Block of the `Checkout` Block, we also display a warning under incompatible payment gateways:
Display “Add review” link when product has no rating
If a product has no ratings, “Add rating” link appears instead of stars. The idea is to help preserve the layout and eventually be a consistent way to link shoppers directly to the rating results for the product.
Product with Add review link Apply rate limiting to non-admin users only
If you enable the rate limiting filter for Store API, it will only be applied to non-admin users. You can now edit our Blocks without being restricted by the rate limiting on the admin side!
Various other bug fixes, enhancements, and updates to documentation are detailed in the changelog below.

WooCommerce 7.2.2 is now available for download.
What’s new?
This release fixes an issue where a database migration introduced in 7.2.1 contained a hard-coded database prefix. For complete details, please see this developer advisory.
You can download the latest release of WooCommerce here or visit Dashboard → Updates to update the plugin from your WordPress admin screen.
As usual, if you spot issues in WooCommerce core, please log them in detail on GitHub. Found a security issue? Please submit a report via HackerOne.
-
Developer Advisory:
For the sake of transparency, here is a detailed account of why 7.2.1 was rolled back and necessitated a 7.2.2 fix release:
The details
- The WooCommerce 7.1.0 release updated the states for New Zealand to the CLDR standard. This introduced a bug as the database records did not get updated.
- WooCommerce 7.2.1 fixed the issue with the New Zealand states by creating a database migration helper to convert the NZ states to the new standard. Additionally, it included the state update and migration for Ukraine.
- The fix implemented in 7.2.1 inadvertently included a hard-coded table prefix for the migration. For sites with custom database prefixes (anything other than
wp_), the update routine caused error messages to be logged which subsequently rescheduled the routine, filling the debug logs rapidly. - After realizing the severity of the issue, we began the work to release 7.2.2 and rolled back the 7.2.1 release entirely.
How can I tell if this affects me?
You will be able to quickly see if you are experiencing an issue by checking your log files. The bug produces the following error message:
WordPress database error Unknown column ‘wp_postmeta.post_id’ in ‘where clause’ for query...What action should I take?
Regardless of impact, if you are currently using WooCommerce 7.2.1,
it is recommended that you roll back to version 7.2.0 until we have a fix available in 7.2.2.WooCommerce 7.2.2 is now available.
